Just bought a succulent plant to teach you to test the soil to avoid rotting roots.

Most succulent plants like sandy soil. After buying it home, the first thing to do is to check the soil. if it is yellow mud or black soil with strong decay, it must be replaced as soon as possible. Conventional soil cultivation methods: 1 part of soft soil (peat soil, coconut bran) and 1 part of sand (coarse sand) at 1:1. If there is a small restaurant burning honeycomb coal near your home, you can also pick up some and break them for coarse sand.

The watering of succulent plants is fastidious. In the initial stage, it can be watered regularly and quantitatively, once every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, 15-20 days in summer, and 20-30 days in winter. Later, you can slowly change the way of watering according to your understanding of plants. The need for watering can be judged by observing the state of the plant, such as softening leaves and wrinkles, which are all information of lack of water, and a small amount of water can be watered to replenish the plant. Special attention should be paid to avoid sun exposure after watering in summer, which can easily suffocate plants.

What if there are small flying insects around succulent plants? The most common mosquito-like flying bug is small black fly, because its scientific name is sharp-eyed mushroom mosquito, which usually appears in indoor areas with poor ventilation and a little damp, lays eggs in the soil, and the larvae eat the roots of seedlings. As long as it can maintain good ventilation and a dry environment, it can basically restrain the small black fly. Remember to use the existing spray insecticides at home against succulent pots. Spray pesticides are generally also pyrethroids, but the concentration is too high and it is easy to get hurt. Finally, there are many small flying insects, which generally have a lot to do with the conservation of the environment. Damp and unventilated, and the basin soil contains unripe organic matter (tea dregs, rice washing water, pericarp, etc.), it is easy to attract mosquitoes, flies, insects, and so on. We should still pay attention to the clean and tidy environment.

Is there a lack of water in the foliage of succulent plants? Although succulent plants are taboo to be watered too frequently, it does not mean that they should be thirsty all the time. When wrinkles appear, try to water them for a second time on the premise of good ventilation. The most suitable time for watering in summer is after dusk, so try to avoid watering plants. It should be noted that if the problem remains after watering, to consider whether there is something wrong with the root, please stick to the growing season to trim the root and change the basin. What is the highest state of raising succulent plants? I personally understand that the highest state is not what kind of state you have to raise, but that you really feel happy and happy in the process of raising meat. When you see their changes every day, you enjoy them and do not compete with others.

If we often water our succulent plants, it may also be a cause of his death. The amount of water irrigated by different succulent plants is different, and the water demand is also different in different seasons. But most plants should strictly control the amount of water in summer and winter, and in summer, we can't water plants in the middle of the day, because the sun is strongest at that time, if water is added, the reflection through the water droplets will also be intuitively stronger, causing the leaves of the plants to be scorched. So in general, it should be watered when the sun is about to set in summer.

We must choose the right soil to grow our succulent plants, some plants like a slightly acidic soil environment, while some plants like an alkaline soil environment, and some plants like a comprehensive soil environment. We have to choose the right soil according to the different characteristics of plants, but generally speaking, the drainage system of the soil must be good and rich in nutrients.
